Black, White and Red Handmade Card

  ​The color combination of black and white for a handmade card is timeless. Add an accent of red and you have a wonderfully fashionable card that works for any occasion Our ​ Apple Harvest Rubber Stamp  is fun and especially easy to color in using markers and/or watercolor pencils. Use a variety of red shades on the apples. For subtle coloring on the basket, I used watercolor pencils. The "You Are" and "So Sweet" are part of one set, called  ​You Are Rubber Stamp Set . The stamps (not pictured), "the best" and "awesome" also included in the set.

Thank A Teacher Card

  When making a handmade 'thank you' card, it conveys more than just a message of gratitude. And when making a card, you will want the best materials. In the card below, which was created for National Thank A Teacher Day, there is an element of literature with the White Rabbit from the Alice in Wonderland series. When planning to make a card for a teacher, I envisioned using one of our apple designs rubber stamps, like Apple Harvest or Apple or Apple Blossoms. I also considered, our Library Books Stamp or Old Books Border. I instead went with our  ​International Thank You Rubber Stamp  and  ​White Rabbit Rubber Stamp . The  ​White Rabbit Rubber Stamp  was colored in just lightly with some red, gold and light blue markers. Also some grey coloring on the fur. The colors of this card are inspired from fashion in that we have red which goes so well with turquoise. The die cut flower center of red matches the layers of turquoise card stock.
